Hyeyoon Ashley ChungSeptember 19, 2013beef cheek ravioli is so delicious that I almost cried eating it
Inna GMarch 18, 2017The black spaghetti with rock shrimp was a bit tasteless. The place is cozy, but the music is very loud and doesn't match the ambience.
Sam CJuly 18, 2011Try the gnocchi with oxtail. And enjoy the cookies/biscotti they give you at the end of the meal.
Shindy COctober 5, 2013Always a delight. Soundtrack was The Cure's Disintegration album last time I went.
Maridel ReyesDecember 6, 2010Come very early to get a seat in the lounge/bar. It's worth it. Seriously, everything is good.
Silene LimSeptember 4, 2017Still stunning service and food after all these years. I went there for lunch. Arugula salad and the broccoli rabe salad with meat.
The Daily MealMarch 4, 2011A longtime darling of the critics, after more than 12 years, you're still atthe mercy of the reservation gods if you want to get in — buona fortuna. Read more
Laura M.July 11, 2011Eat here late (our reservation was for 11 p.m.) and get a table upstairs. Romantic!
SarJanuary 16, 2017Jesus Christ. This place is awful and over rated. If you want to be squished like a sardine and pay for over priced food, go here. I would rather eat from sabarro at penn station then go here again.
Try the Grilled Lamb Chops "Scottadita" - These. Were. Epic. So delicious.
DianeApril 30, 2011Walked in around 10:30pm with no res and was able to sit within 30 min. Pasta tasting menu ftw!
Worst polenta I have ever experienced!!! It's as liquid as a soup, has no taste and one can't eat it with a fork!!! Waiters answer: this is how polenta should be and the chef prepares it! Just rude.
Rita ZimmermannDecember 14, 2010Pappardelle with Chanterelles and Thyme “Torta Caprese” and “Aragone,” La Mozza 2006 makes me happy
Showtime NetworkApril 1, 2011It’s no easy feat to get a table here, so congrats! Dine like a Borgia (you deserve it!).
- Try the Grilled Octopus - Different for sure, but really tasty.
